Abstract: Among the recently collected chalcidoid wasps in a rice field of eastern Guilan province (coast of Caspian Sea), in July 2012, there was a specimen of Pteromalidae belonging to the genus Callitula. It was identified as Callitula ferrierei (Bouček, 1964). Both genus and species are new record for Iranian fauna. Morphological characters and geographical distribution of the newly recorded species are given. Keywords: Callitula, new record, Iran, fauna, distribution Introduction12 in eastern Guilan province (coast of Caspian sea), we found a female specimen of Callitula The family Pteromalidae (Hymenoptera: (Hym.: Pteromalidae) in a Malaise trap set up in Chalcidoidea) with more than 3,500 described a rice field on July, 2012. Identification was species and 390 genera is one of the largest made using Bouček (1964) and Xiao et al., families among parasitic Hymenoptera. It includes (2005).

In the present paper a preliminary study of the pteromalid fauna (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Pteromalidae) in Kurdistan Province, Western Iran is provided. The specimens were collected using sweeping nets and Malaise traps during 2009- 2010. Nine species belonging to 9 genera and to the following subfamilies are identified: Asaphinae (1 species), Miscogasterinae (1 species), Ormocerinae (1 species) and Pteromalinae (6 species). Two species, Callitula bicolor Spinola, 1811 and Stenoselma nigrum Delucchi, 1956 are recorded for the first time from Iran. Short taxonomic comments for each species are briefly mentioned.

  • Natural Enemies of Sorghum Shoot Fly, Atherigona Soccata Rondani (Diptera: Muscidae)
    Biocontrol Science and Technology (2002) 12, 307± 323 Natural Enemies of Sorghum Shoot Fly, Atherigona soccata Rondani (Diptera: Muscidae) B. U. SINGH and H. C. SHARMA Germplasm Resources and Enhancement Program, International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), Patancheru 502 324, Andhra Pradesh, India (Received for publication 18 July 2000; revised manuscript accepted 24 November 2001) The sorghum shoot Xy, Atherigona soccata is one of the most important pests of grain sorghum in Asia, Africa and the Mediterranean Europe. This paper reviews the current state of information on diversity, ecobiology, parasitism levels, and mass rearing of the parasitoids, predators and pathogens attacking diVerent stages of A. soccata. Among the parasitoids, Trichogramma chilonis Ishii and Trichogrammatoidea simmondsi Nagaraja on the eggs, and Neotrichoporoides nyemitawus Rohwer on the larvae are most important. Although 15 species of predators have been recorded, their predation potential has not been assessed under Weld conditions. Several species of spiders are important predators on eggs. The ecobiology of T. chilonis, T. simmondsi, N. nyemitawus, Spalangia endius Walker and Trichopria sp. has been studied in considerable detail. The parasitism levels are quite high during the post-rainy season by Aprostocetus sp., N. nyemitawus, Opius sp. and S. endius. Augmenting population s of T. chilonis does not reduce the shoot Xy infestation under Weld conditions. Parasitism by N. nyemitawus is greater in sorghum-cowpea intercrop than where sorghum is the sole crop. Mass rearing techniques are available only for T. chilonis and T. bactrae. The constraints and challenges for utilizing the natural enemies in integrated pest management have been discussed.

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". if it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may hsve necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.

    Biomonitoring of the California Department of Water Resources Delta Levees Program Habitat Restoration Sites 2020 Annual Report Biomonitoring of the California Department of Water Resources Delta Levees Program Habitat Restoration Sites: 2020 Annual Report Prepared by: Jason Riggio, Kristen Zumdahl, Danielle Fradet, Michelle Mah, Molly Ferrell, Lynn Kimsey, & Andrew Engilis, Jr. December 2020 Cover photo: Mixed blackbird flock on Twitchell Island as captured by a camera trap station (All photos in this report were taken at our sites unless otherwise specified) Acknowledgements On behalf of the UC Davis Museum of Wildlife and Fish Biology and Bohart Museum of Entomology, we wish to thank everyone involved in the 2020 Biomonitoring of the California Department of Water Resources Delta Levees Program Habitat Restoration Sites survey season. We would especially like to thank all of the site managers who provided access to our study areas including Juan Mercado (Board President for both Sherman and Twitchell Island Reclamation District boards), Joel McElroy (Sherman Island Superintendent), Ricky Carter (Twitchell Island Superintendent), Katherine Bandy (acting Program Manager of Dutch Slough Tidal Marsh Restoration Project), and Harry McQuillen (Cosumnes River Preserve Manager). Additionally, our work at the Cosumnes River Preserve, McCormack-Williamson Tract and Grizzly Slough would not have been possible without the assistance of Sara Sweet (Cosumnes River Preserve Restoration Ecologist) and Anitra Pawley (CA DWR North Delta Program Manager). We are grateful to Chris Carlson (Solano Resource Conservation District Restoration Program Manager) for his assistance with protecting the invertebrate survey stations from livestock damage and Laureen Thompson (CDFW Environmental Scientist) for her help assessing the sites for endangered Salt Marsh Harvest Mouse habitat potential.
